To make these tasty apple chips, gather these items: - 2 large apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji) - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 tablespoon sugar (or a sugar substitute for a healthier option) - Pinch of salt - Cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil (for greasing) You can make your apple chips even better with these choices: - Use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit. - Try adding a touch of nutmeg for extra flavor. - Consider a sprinkle of cayenne for a spicy kick. Not all apples are the same. For the best taste, I suggest: - Honeycrisp: They are sweet and juicy. - Fuji: These apples are crisp and have a lovely sweetness. - Gala: They are also sweet and work well in this recipe. Choosing the right apple makes all the difference in flavor and texture! Start by washing the apples well. I love using Honeycrisp or Fuji for their sweet taste. Slice them into very thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife for this. If you want, you can remove the seeds, but keep the shape of the apples. Grab a large bowl and mix together the ground cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the apple slices to the bowl. Gently toss them until they are well coated in the cinnamon sugar mix. This step brings out the sweetness in the apples. Next, preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps the apple chips cook evenly. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with coconut oil. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the basket. Make sure they do not overlap. You may have to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small. Air fry the apple slices for 15 to 20 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even cooking. Check them closely after 10 minutes so they don’t burn. Once they are crisp and golden, remove them from the air fryer. Let them cool on a wire rack. They will become even crispier as they cool. Serve your cinnamon apple chips in a pretty bowl. A sprinkle of extra cinnamon adds a nice touch. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or a tasty dessert! To get the best crunch, slice your apples thin. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness. This helps them cook evenly. Use a mandoline slicer for the best results. If you don’t have one, a sharp knife works too. Make sure to lay the slices flat in the air fryer. Avoid overlapping them; this step is key for crispiness. Always preheat your air fryer. Set it to 300°F (150°C) for five minutes. This step warms the air fryer, leading to even cooking. Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray or coconut oil. This helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning. Flip the apple slices halfway through cooking for a uniform crisp. Don’t skip the cooling step. After cooking, let the chips cool on a wire rack. This helps them finish crisping up. Keep an eye on the cooking time. Check them at the 10-minute mark to avoid burning. Cooking times can change based on your air fryer and slice thickness. If your chips are too soft, they may need a bit more time. {{image_2}} You can mix up the flavor of your apple chips. Try adding nutmeg for a warm touch. Just use about 1/4 teaspoon with your cinnamon. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract when coating the apples. This adds a sweet scent and taste that pairs well with cinnamon. Apple chips are great, but you can use other fruits too. Pears work well and have a nice sweetness. Simply slice them thin, just like the apples. You can also try peaches or bananas. Each fruit gives a unique flavor and texture. They will all crisp up nicely in the air fryer. If you have dietary needs, you can adjust this recipe. Use a sugar substitute if you want a lower-calorie snack. Options like stevia or monk fruit work well. If you are gluten-free, this recipe is safe as is. Just ensure your cooking spray is also gluten-free. You can enjoy these chips without worry! To keep your air fryer cinnamon apple chips fresh, let them cool completely. Place them in a clean, dry container. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container. This helps to lock in their crispness. I suggest using glass jars or plastic containers with tight lids. These options work best for keeping moisture out. You can also use resealable bags. Just remove as much air as possible before sealing. Stored correctly, your apple chips can last for about one week. However, they are best when eaten within the first few days. After that, they may lose their crunch. If you notice any softness, it's time to enjoy them or toss them out. Yes, you can! Many fruits work well in an air fryer. Try pears, bananas, or peaches. Just slice them thinly, like apples. Each fruit brings its own flavor and sweetness. Make sure to adjust the cooking time. Softer fruits may need less time than apples. To reduce the sweetness, cut back on the sugar. You can use just half a tablespoon. Another way is to use a sugar substitute. You can also skip the sugar entirely. The cinnamon will still add great flavor. A pinch of salt can enhance the taste too. For snacks like apple chips, set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). This temperature cooks the chips evenly. Cooking times vary, so check them often. Start with 15 minutes, flipping halfway. If they’re not crisp enough, add a few more minutes.

Preparation: Begin by thoroughly washing the apples. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the apples into very thin rounds (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Removing the seeds is optional, but ensure you retain the apple shape.
